Curriculum Vitae
Nancy has worked with commercial and editorial clients, usually as a contracted account rather than one project at a time, although exceptions were always made depending on the project.
She is one of two women in the world to win Communication Arts Magazine - Award of Excellence in Photography in both 2013 and 2015. Since 1959, Communication Arts has published the best in visual communications from around the world. CA's Award of Excellence is one of the most-coveted awards in the industry. If chosen, winning places you in the highest ranks of your profession. As a point of reference, National Geographic is often a contestant for this award. Winning an award is like winning an “Oscar” for this industry.
